Strange things are afoot at the circle k

btw. this is index.php not our 404 page

The Crusader Union of Australia (CRU) has a legal, moral and spiritual responsibility to promote a positive and safe environment for all children we work with, regardless of age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, racial, social and religious background.

All CRU staff and volunteers are required to make a firm and open commitment to child protection and adopt procedures and practices in accord with the Child Protection Legislation to minimise the risk of a child being abused and to respond appropriately to allegations of child abuse.

Child protection is an integral part of CRU. We seek to create an environment where children can participate in activities and learn about God without being exposed to individuals who can damage their physical, emotional or spiritual development.

A copy of the CRU’s Child Protection Policy is available CRU’s Child Protection Policy
If you have any concerns you can contact CRU at [email protected]

The CRU Dirtbike Camps team run training and maintenance weekends before camps to prepare you, the bikes and the tracks for our Dirtbike camps.

Dirtbike training weekends and are open to volunteers who are committed to leading on a dirt bike camp in the following camp seasons. Whether you are keen rider or new to dirt bike riding, there’s great opportunities to learn and fellowship together. To ensure camps maintain high standards, the required training and assessment is focussed on riding proficiency and teaching campers new skills.

Maintenance weekends happen in the middle of each year and after the Spring camps so that the tracks and bikes are ready for camp. There’s time to fellowship together while digging and clearing as well as over meals and a coffee or two!

After confirming that you’re volunteering on a camp, join the CRU Dirtbike Camps Facebook group  for dates and details, or Contact us to find out more.
